Parmesan Cheese?!
Parmesan Cheese?
When in Italy I usually bring a big lump of parmesan cheese with me, but it tends to go mouldy quite quickly. How do I prevent it? I've tried different kinds of containers and even packed it with ice packs when I come home but nothing seems to help. Any tips at all?
Answers:
you can keep cheese in teh freezer, make sure it's not getting damp- if you pack it with ice packs then make sure they are well wrapped and not touching the cheese, as they melt they will become damp and that will encourage mould growth. Is it specifically on the flight that they go mouldy? Or once you get home? I would have thought they would be fine simply placed in your main luggage in the hold for the flight- it is dry and cool there, and once you get home put it straight in the freezer.
